Press Release Summary: M1000 Modular DSL Router is the industry's first modular DSL
residential modem/router

Press Release Body: Sunnyvale, Calif., April 7, 2008 - Actiontec Electronics today
announced that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) named the company's Modular
DSL Router (M1000) a 2007 Product of the Year winner from Unified Communications
magazine. In its first annual product of the year awards, Unified Communications
honors the products and companies that have brought ground-breaking advancement to
UC technologies over the past year.

The Modular DSL Router enables operators to supply all customers with the same
low-cost base unit and then add user-requested upgrades with simple snap-in modules
including wireless networking, 4-port Ethernet switch for wired networking, a
HomePlug AV adapter for powerline networking, and a VoIP adapter. The base unit is a
one-port Ethernet/USB ADSL2+ router incorporating two USB-like connectors. Users can
simply snap in the module adding additional services with simple plug-and-play
technology eliminating the need for additional bulky boxes, cables, or hard to
navigate installation software.

This modular strategy also reduces costs by enabling service providers to meet the
needs of all customers without maintaining inventory, training technicians or
providing technical support for multiple customer premise devices. In addition,
having a single expandable product eliminates end-user equipment swapping when
customers require additional functions.

"Unified Communications magazine bestows Product of the Year awards on companies
that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application
refinements. These winners have demonstrated to the editors of Unified
Communications that their products or services have gone the extra mile to help
improve both the customer experience and the ROI for the companies that use them,"
said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Unified
Communications. "Actiontec deserves this great honor for driving industry
innovation with their M1000 Modular DSL Router."

"It is an honor to be recognized by Unified Communications in their inaugural
awards. In line with the quality publications TMC has developed over the years, this
award shows just how technology is changing the way people connect and collaborate,"
said Brian Henrichs, VP Business Development at Actiontec Electronics. "The
innovative modular design of this router provides the end-user with a variety of
options in a simple, easy to snap in plug-and-play way - making it easy for the
consumer to add functionality themselves and helping operators provide cutting edge
products without having to maintain and support complicated equipment."
